Enforcement Judge's Authority to Review Resumption of Marital Household for Spousal Support Cessation

In a case where enforcement proceedings were initiated based on a prior ruling granting separation and ordering spousal support payments, the issue before the court was whether the enforcement judge had the authority to review the substantive prerequisite of Article 179 Abs. 2 of the Civil Code—the resumption of the marital household. The court determined that the enforcement judge must examine the existence of an enforceable title ex officio and is permitted in special circumstances, such as a debtor asserting the cessation of support due to the resumption of cohabitation, to review the substantive prerequisites of the underlying claim, provided the debtor can offer conclusive documentary evidence of an unequivocal and lasting resumption of the shared household as defined by law.
